Congrats to Janet.....I think? but at 50 years old.....isn't that a tad selfish to the child? Although celebrities do have the means to delay childbirth, ( making the assumption she had previously frozen her eggs ) and they can afford to hire help if a child does arrive, but I don't know enough about Ms Jacksons past ( had suffered previous miscarriages? ) She has a precious baby now no matter what.

Miss Universe 2017 Canada's entry

Miss Universe Canada Siera Bearchell: “My National Costume is a matching top and bottom red outfit with a maple leaf, Métis symbol, and Canadian pattern. I will have a snowflake back piece that has all of the Canadian provinces and territories included in the snowflake shape. I will also be wearing a toque, mittens and mukluks! Very Canadian!”

She's 23, from Moose Jaw, SK





Siera Bearchell is a law student, entrepreneur, runner, and golfer. After finishing her second year of law school, and running her first marathon, Bearchell earned the right to represent Canada at Miss Universe. Most people enter the world of pageants with potential stardom in mind, but Bearchell began competing for a completely different reason. After her family lost their home to a fire, she was inspired by the help they received from Red Cross. Seeing pageants as potential opportunities to commit herself to charity and community, she set her sights on becoming Miss Teen Saskatchewan and has risen to the heights of Miss Universe Canada. Siera plans to use her law degree for business endeavours and to help the most vulnerable communities throughout the globe. Bearchell is so fortunate to have the opportunity to volunteer for more than seven charities, and if she takes home the Miss Universe crown, she would like to focus on working with young women on their self-worth, self-esteem and confidence.

Ugh. I'd be so embarrassed to wear those contraptions. Yes, contraptions. There's no way that those should be called dresses. Even costume is being generous.

David Cassidy is battling dementia.

The 66-year-old actor, widely known for his starring role as Keith Partridge on the 1970s series The Partridge Family, reveals to PEOPLE that he is fighting the memory loss disease.

Cassidy, who watched his grandfather battle the disease and witnessed his mother “disappear” into dementia until she died at age 89, tells PEOPLE of his diagnosis: “I was in denial, but a part of me always knew this was coming.”

Now that he’s come to terms with his condition, Cassidy has made the decision to stop touring as a musician to concentrate on his health and happiness. “I want to focus on what I am, who I am and how I’ve been without any distractions,” he says. “I want to love. I want to enjoy life.”
